PMT(Preventive Maintenance Template) is a standardized maintenance program that describes maintenance items & period as operation condition to increase component reliability at the component level. The existing maintenance programs are focused on time based maintenance to inspect and repair component depend on fixed period. But recently, we have developed advanced maintenance program(named PMT) to increase reliability and optimize maintenance program of the plant significant component. This paper presents how to develop the PMT for nuclear power plant's static exciter.

An External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp (EEFL) has longer lifespan, higher power efficiency and higher luminance than a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL). Moreover, it is easy to drive them in parallel. Therefore, the EEFL is expected to quickly replace the CCFL in LCD backlight systems. However, the EEFL has more complex characteristics than the CCFL with a resistive component, because it has both a resistive component by plasma and a capacitive component by external electrode. In this paper, values of resistance and capacitance are measured at several power levels and at several operating frequencies. They are expressed by a numeral formula based on a linear approximation that represents the equivalent resistance and capacitance as a function of power. Then we made block diagram of the equivalent circuit model using numerical expressions. Simulation waveforms and experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the equivalent model.

Component reliability data were analyzed by using PRinS(Plant Reliability data information System) based on the latest operating experiences of eight KSNPs(Korea Standard Nuclear Power plants), and these new data were applied to the KSNP PSA models. In addition, the existing PSA models were revised for reflecting as-built and as-operated plant conditions. As a result of newly performing PSA in this paper, CDF and LERF were estimated 26.1% and 18.2% lower than the existing values, respectively. It was identified that the risk measures decreased not because of revising the models but because of applying the new component reliability data. The result and the method of this paper could be used when generating plant specific data and performing the living PSA in the future.

Load model is very important to improve accuracy of stability analysis and load flow study in power systems. A power system bus is composed by various loads, and loads have different power consumption due to voltage/frequency changing. Thus the effect of voltage/frequency changing must he considered to load mxleling. In this research, ANN was used to construct component load moddel for more accurate load mxleling. Typical residential load was selected, and characteristics exrerimented on voltage/frequency changing. Acquired data used to construct the component ANN model, and aggregation method of component load model was presented based on component load model and composition rate. Furthennore, it's transfomlation method to the mathematical load model to he used at the traditional power system analysis soft wares was also presented.sented.

This paper compares two instantaneous reactive power definitions in DFIG wind turbine with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter under unbalanced grid conditions. In general, conventional definition of instantaneous reactive power is obtained by taking an imaginary component of complex power. The other definition of instantaneous reactive power can be developed based on a set of voltages lagging the grid input voltages by 90 degree. A complex quantity referred as a quadrature complex power is defined. Proposed definition of instantaneous reactive power is derived by taking a real component of quadrature complex power. The characteristics of two instantaneous reactive power definitions are compared using the ripple-free stator active power control algorithm in DFIG. Instantaneous reactive power definition based on quadrature complex power has a simpler current reference calculation control block. Ripple of instantaneous active and reactive power has the same magnitude unlike in conventional definition under grid unbalance. Comparison results of two instantaneous reactive power definitions are verified through simulation.

A power plant simulation tool ('PowerSim') has been developed with 10 years experience from the development of a plant simulator for efficient modeling of a power plant. PowerSim is the first developed tool in Korea for plant simulation with various plant component models, instructor station function and the Graphic Model Builder (GMB). PowerSim is composed of a graphic editor using general purpose design software, a netlist converter, component models, the scheduler, Instructor Station and an executive. The graphic editor generates a netlist that shows the connection status of the various plant components from the Simdiagram, which is drawn by Icon Drag method supported by GUI environment of the PowerSim. Netlist Converter normalizes the connection status of the components. Scheduler makes scheduling for the execution of the device models according to the netlist. Therefore, the user makes Simdiagram based on the plant Pipe and Instrument Drawing (P&ID) and inputs the plant data for automatic simulating execution. This paper introduces Graphic Model Builder (GMB), instructor station, executive and the detailed introduction of thermal-hydraulic modeling. This paper will also introduce basic ideas on how the simulation Diagram, based on netlist generated from general purpose design software, is made and how the system is organized. The developed tool has been verified through the simulation of a real power plant.

This paper propse the DC link capacitor voltage balancing control for three level neutral point clamped converter with harmonic component injection method. The injcetion voltage consists of harmonic component and DC link capacitor voltage difference. Theoretical analysis is provided to balance the DC link voltage, and it shows that harmonic component compensates the unbalanced condition between the capacitors. Both simulations and experiments are carried out to show that the voltage unbalance have been decreased by the proposed method.

A novel control scheme compensating for source voltage unbalance and harmonic current for series active power filters is proposed, where the references for voltage unbalance and current harmonic and phase angle is derived from the positive sequence component of the source voltage obtained simply through digital all-pass filters, which makes the whole control algorithm simpler than other methods using p-q theory. In addition, the harmonic component of source current is compensated by harmonic component of load voltage and therefore fundamental component of source current is considered as separated terms for the control issue. The validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results.

Unbalanced source voltages due to unbalanced loads in the 3-phase power system is decomposed into positive, negative and zero sequence components. Also, assuming there is no neutural path in the system, the zero sequence component is not shown. Therefore, it is possible to compensate unbalanced source voltage by canceling the negative sequency component of the voltages of the source. In this paper, an algorithm compensating unbalanced source voltages by canceling the negative sequence component is presented and analysis of instantaneous voltage compensator using 3-phase PWM inverter is carried out through computer simulation.
